One of my favourites of all time

 

[Old_Stocktonian]

Another oldie here. My first single was "I Only Want to be with You" by Dusty Springfield, bought with my pocket money in the record department on the mezzanine in Robinsons in Stockton.

Bit embarrassing now

I had completely forgotten this existed!

I didn't buy many singles, I'd either get the 12 inch or wait for the album, but I do remember being happy to find and buy this one for some insane reason.

I had completely forgotten this existed!

Sadly my prized 7” single of this seminal waxing is lost and I couldn’t find it on Spotify….

It was decimalisation year cant remember if it was Coz I Luv You Slade or the Banner Man Blue Mink. They may have been bought at the same time but it was over 50 years ago. It was in the old Woolworths store in Stockton before it moved over to the now demolished Castlegate.

I always liked Blue Mink my favourite being Randy.

I think it was the sound of the chorus I liked so much and the lyrics too.

Heard it first on Radio Luxembourg....

"Where did our love go" - Donnie Elbert [on 7" 45 rpm]

 

[Frankie Lee]

Hi Ho Silver. The theme tune from Boon.

Genuinely think it was "Mr Blobby" by Mr Blobby
